Tychr's blog covers university admissions, academic preparation, and student success, written by our senior counsellors, tutors, and subject specialists. Specific, current, and honest.
These are the articles Tychr students, parents, and counsellors are reading most right now, updated monthly to reflect current application cycle relevance.
Tychr's US college admissions blog covers the Common App, Ivy League strategy, standardised testing, and the full application cycle, written with the specificity that general admissions advice rarely provides.
The UK admissions process is fundamentally different from US applications, and requires a completely different strategic approach. Tychr's UK blog covers UCAS, Oxbridge, admissions tests, and the A-Level and IB preparation that determines predicted grades.
Tychr's academic blog covers study strategies, exam technique, and subject-specific guides across the IB Diploma, Cambridge IGCSE, A-Levels, and AP, written by tutors who have personally achieved top marks in the subjects they cover.
Tychr's standardised test blog covers preparation strategy, score interpretation, and exam-day technique for the digital SAT and ACT, written by tutors with direct, current experience preparing students for both tests.
Tychr's blog covers the full landscape of research opportunities, internship access, and summer programme strategy, with specific guidance on which opportunities are worth pursuing, how competitive they are, and how to use them effectively in university applications.
Tychr's extracurricular blog addresses the questions students and parents actually have, not 'what activities should I do' (the wrong question) but 'how do I build something that tells a compelling story across an Ivy League application.'
Tychr's essay blog is among the most-read sections of our resource library, because essay guidance is simultaneously the most searched and the most poorly served category of admissions content online.
Tychr's financial aid blog covers the CSS Profile, need-blind universities, external scholarships, and aid comparison, with the specificity that parents actually need to make informed decisions.
University applications are one of the most stressful experiences in a young person's academic life. Tychr's wellness blog addresses the mental health dimensions of the process, with practical, honest guidance for students and parents.
Tychr's mental health counsellor Anupama Lama contributes to this section of the blog and is available for 1-on-1 wellbeing sessions as part of our full programme.
